Description from the seller
An exceptional collector's piece featuring several distinctly formed natural sapphire crystals that prominently protrude from the light matrix. The crystals display intense blue, violet, and indigo hues and create a strong contrast to the white and dark, glossy accompanying minerals.
Particularly appealing is the partially translucent sapphire. When illuminated from behind, the crystals are traversed by a bright, glowing blue and reveal their inner color zoning and structure. The visible crystal faces and the partially preserved natural crystal form give the piece a especially original character.
The contrasting matrix with white patches, black to dark brown minerals, and individual golden-brown areas makes the overall specimen visually very varied.
In gem therapy, sapphire has traditionally been regarded as the stone of clarity, concentration, and inner calm. It is said to promote mental focus and a clear view of what is essential.
A characterful natural sapphire mineral slab in which, in particular, the strong color, the visible crystals, and their impressive illumination through the stone stand out.
